Software Engineer

Description

About

The company is building a physical API for the frontier: manufacturing infrastructure that turns designs into real hardware near the speed of development. We believe the future science fiction promised will only arrive if manufacturing infrastructure matches the pace of development.

We’re starting with CNC machining critical components and building a manufacturing platform that connects every step of the process into one continuously improving, software-defined system.

Role Description

We’re hiring a Software Engineer to work with the Head of Software to build and operate this platform. The work centers on the deep backend ERP/MES-like workflow engines, data models, and integrations that run the factory.

You’ll own features and technical areas from design through deployment and ongoing operation, working directly with manufacturing, operations, and commercial teams to turn operational needs into reliable production systems. The Head of Software will own the roadmap, architectural direction, and engineering standards; you’ll contribute to technical design and take ownership of execution.

You’ll also help apply AI to accelerate engineering and automate operational workflows, with careful attention to correctness, security, and measurable value.

Near-term

Execute against the software roadmap and own projects through production

Develop deep context on the platform and factory

Stabilize and harden the core backend through testing, monitoring, and debugging

Build reliable workflows, data models, APIs, and integrations that support increasing operational complexity

Apply AI where it creates measurable value

Long-term

Help build the manufacturing operating system

Grow ownership of core systems and contribute to architectural decisions

Make AI a compounding advantage

Strengthen reliability, security, and compliance as the platform scales
